Neil Kapoor, an 18-year-old "undecided" major at Boston University, can't imagine why we want to take his picture. Maybe it's his insouciant head of hair or the elephant tattoo peeking out from his right sleeve. A friend of mine would call what he's wearing, head-to-toe denim, a "denim tux." Denim shirt by Joe Boxer, denim jeans by K-mart ($16), Vans sneakers ($40).

NEIL'S TAKE ON FALL TRENDS: "I don't follow trends. My sneakers are the most expensive thing I'm wearing."
